Older 10G SFP+ models were definitely power hungry. I think they’ve gotten better since then, but I haven’t really looked into how much better.

I would definitely complain. That sounds defective.

Wow, that’s a power hungry modem… But, look into the power usage of those sfp modules. They can be ~10w on their own.

Those two devices are likely very low power arm devices. I wouldn’t be surprised if a mini pc consumes more power than those two devices. If power is your concern you should probably measure how much they’re actually pulling.

I put it in a container that has a build process every week.

I didn’t want to pay for cable TV. I started with torrents. Then I found utorrent could automate via rss and search terms, then sickbeard could automate it even further, usenet made it safer, etc… And that’s also how I ended up with a career in IT.

I guess not.

I didn’t even know Firefox had AI features.

I just liked linux better so I learned it. That’s kind of my whole career, I want to do something so I get certified in it and start looking to get into it. I’m in consulting. I come in and help people setup OpenShift while teaching them how to use it and then move on to the next customer.

I probably also started with linux seriously around that time frame. I was also a Windows admin back then. Transitioning to Linux and containers was the best thing ever. You get out of dependency hell and having kruft all over your filesystem. I’m extremely biased though, I work for Red Hat now. Containers and Linux are my day job.

And honestly, 40 isn’t even impressive. I run more than that on one host. Containers make life so much easier is unreal.

Modern adhesives are pretty insanely strong.

But it’s also the big reason first time installers struggle. They tighten those bolts too much and crack three porcelain.

Yeah, I only put specific things there. Management and monitoring things. The services are still local.

I’ve been using a VPS for a while now. I still maintain it, so it’s very much like self hosting.

Self hosting can be stretched to mean you’re hosting your own services on a cloud provider.

Defense in depth for one. It looks like this project is made for protecting your data on cloud storage. I’ve noticed right now there seems to be a lot of projects around using relatively cheap S3 storage solutions.

Just self host the whole thing with Forgejo. I run a few github actions on runners all on my own stuff.

I haven’t used it, but this project looks interesting: https://github.com/dkorecko/PatchPanda

It doesn’t just update you containers, it checks the release notes too.

Okay, you’re missing out on one of the best new self hosted services because of a knee jerk reaction in that case.
